Redirect
There appears to have been some confusion here. "Homalocephala" has been used as a genus name both in the insect family Ulidiidae, but also in the plant family Cactaceae. The plant genus Homalocephala is synonymous with Echinocactus, the latter being the preferred name. This particular species, H. texensis, is a cactus, not a fly. We had articles for both, this one being a stub about a presumed species of fly that doesn't actually exist. Hence, the redirect, and some other cleanup edits I'll be making now. -GTBacchus(talk) 15:26, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
